Maybe the words global metal recycler throws me off but to me that says quantity. The methods posted in this forum work well for a jeweler processing his or her own material and having a relatively modest quantity.

If you are talking quantity you should be thinking burn, crush, sift, and sample. Acid refining is too costly on a large scale for low grade material (sweeps) and most who have tried acid on a large scale find the residues have to be shipped to a low grade refiner to recover the retained metals. Refining rates for prepared sweeps are quite reasonable.
